There are moments in life when only cake will do. In I’ll Bake!, classically trained pastry chef Liberty Mendez shares the joy that baking, entertaining, and feeding her friends brings her, with over 85 failsafe recipes that are at once impressive and effortless.

‘A beautiful book that proves you can have both style and substance. These recipes, and their gorgeous styling and photography, make me feel that magical joy that only baking can bring.’ – John Whaite

These are delicious baking recipes that fit into a busy lifestyle; whether you’re pulling together a quick snack or comforting pudding with whatever is left in the fridge, creating a cake that you can take to your friend’s birthday without fear of it falling apart on the night bus, or cooking an impressive dinner party dish after a couple of glasses of wine – I’ll Bake! has the perfect dish for every occasion.

Not only can all of the recipes be made in five steps or under, there’s an at-a-glance guide to which recipes are vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free, with time-saving tips and easy alternatives to help suit an assortment of dietary needs. Plus, every chapter is accompanied by a Spotify soundtrack Liberty has compiled to set the mood and bring the joy to baking.

So whether it’s an indulgent Triple Cheese French Toast Bake, warming Hog Roast Sausage Rolls, a Fridge-Raid Crumble with Proper Custard, a perfectly set Espresso Custard Tart, or a nostalgic Coconut and Jam Pudding that can be made in minutes, Liberty will equip you with the confidence and enthusiasm to take pleasure in saying, ‘I’ll bake!’
